Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27926488 | https://newdrugapprovals.org/tag/gsk-126/

GSK126, a potent, highly selective, S-adenosyl-methionine-competitive, small-molecule inhibitor of EZH2 methyltransferase activity, decreases global H3K27me3 levels and reactivates silenced PRC2 target genes. GSK126 effectively inhibits the proliferation of EZH2 mutant DLBCL cell lines and markedly inhibits the growth of EZH2 mutant DLBCL xenografts in mice. Pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 activity may provide a promising treatment for EZH2 mutant lymphoma. EZH2 inactivation by GSK126 is also effective in killing MM cells and CSCs as a single agent or in combination with bortezomib. Clinical trial of GSK126 in patients with MM may be warranted. GSK126 is undergoing phase I trials for hypermethylation-related cancers. GSK126 is in phase I diffuse large B cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. GSK126 inhibits cell migration and angiogenesis in solid tumor cell lines through down-regulation of VEGF-A expression. Thus, it may be considered as a novel anticancer drug candidate for solid tumor.

Sample Use Guides

Subject will be administered with a 50 milligram (mg) starting dose of GSK126 intravenous infusion over 2 - 4 hours, initially twice-weekly 3 weeks on / 1 week off in each 28-day cycle. Dose escalation will continue until an RP2D is determined or until an maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or a dose of 3000 mg twice-weekly is reached.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
GSK126 showed significant effect on prostate cancer PC-3 and DU145 cell growth and apoptosis when the dose was higher than 50 umol/L.
